wonders if the "love is truly mutual" between Reykjavik and Beijing. While Iceland just needs capital to relaunch its economy, the Chinese are only interested in the gas and oil in the Arctic and see in Iceland nothing more than a "handy harbour"

Pretty much all the words I would require to sum up my Nordic experience are in that quote. I should add that the Swedes do coffee really well. They are grumpy in the winter.

International trade was the reason Columbus set out to discover India. Instead he stumbled upon America. Foreign trade is as old as human civilization. It benefits both parties so long as one party is not stupid. Can’t say that about China-America trade because one party is indeed stupid.
